Abstract

Experimental test results presented in this paper were from a series of triaxial compression tests studied under drained conditions for Completely Decomposed Granite (CDG) soil mixed with fine sand content of (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40%). The CDG soil showed high compressibility during isotropic consolidation, probably due to the use of the moist tamping method and the effect of weathering degree on the soil structure.
